Funny smart creative world traveler, back in the US after living for 4 years in France, recently married, I work at home and for the San Francisco Unified School district training teachers to use technology in their classrooms. I like to connect with different, people who march to the beat of their own drummer, within reason of course. I speak English, French, and Spanish. I LOVE seeing live music of all kinds. I've been playing music since I was old enough to tap my feet and hands and annoy just about everyone within earshot, but haven't played much lately. I love to cook, exercise, hike, laugh, and create. I've been an Airbnb host, but now, just a guest. I haven't stayed in a hotel since.

I always say "The proof is in the pudding". Let's make some pudding!

I can't live without my bicycle.

I can't live with TV's.

I believe in harnessing the collective intelligence of all things.

The greatest quality about San Francisco is that it is a home for the unconventional. We finally fit in.

We spent a week at Owen and we really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect. The apartment is clean, spacious and bright, and it is located in a really nice and well served by public transport.
Communication with Owen was perfect. We had a very good experience.
I highly recommend you to stay at Owen during your next visit to San Francisco !

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two days and really loved it. The location is great--fun neighborhood with several bus lines going through--very simple to get everywhere. The actual apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-kept. The kitchen was great, too--we had picked up some breakfast and lunch food from a farmer's market and had everything we needed to make simple meals for ourselves. Really no complaints about this place, and Owen made check-in and check-out as simple as possible.

Great apartment in cool neighborhood. Spacious, clean and with a well-equipped kitchen. Cafes, restaurants, stores within walking distance on Divisadero.
This is a modern apartment in a charming, well-maintained older building. Sometimes you can hear muffled voices from next-door apartments.
It can sometimes take a while to find a parking spot.
Would definitely stay here again!

Great place!!!!! Great host! Owen was very accommodating and maintained continuous contact. The place is exactly like pictured. Chic. comfy. Updated apartment in an old building. Owen's apt has all the essentials needed fr a comfortable stay, though My friend and I did not use any of his things - except the iron. Hope to stay here again on my next visit.
Great location. Across from the historical painted ladies and around the corner from an maxing restaurant, Nopa, and La Chihuaha .
Thanks, Owen, better than staying in an hotel!

Owen's place is exactly as it appears in the pictures except it might be bigger than it looks. It is in a terrific location -- there are a million interesting things within walking distance and public transportation is easily accessible. Owen is a great host -- he always responded quickly and he gave helpful tips about things to see and do in his neighborhood and in SF in general. I highly recommend this host.

I stayed with my wife at Owen's apartment over a weekend and made it our base to explore SF. I loved the apartment! It is exactly like pictured and has all you need: Kitchen, WIFI, bright bedroom and bath, near to Japantown, Hayes Valley area etc. Owen was very communicative and a great host (e.g., allowed to check out late because our flight departed at night.) Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our experience at Owen's apartment. It was in a great location, with excellent access to fantastic restaurants, the parks and other great attractions. The only drawback was the noisy neighbors across the hall who were up until 12:30 at night. Some breakfast food would have been appreciated as well. However, there are several good markets around the corner. We would stay there again!

an amusing note is that I asked my neighbors across the hall about the noise, and they confessed to me that they use Airbnb and that weekend they had guests. So Thank you again Susan for being a great guest, my guests have been awesome, even though not all Airbnb guests are so great.

Owens responded very quickly to our needs and questions. We had a comfortable stay at Owens studio. I liked the tomato plant and modern design in the studio. It is very closed to famous "six sister " or "painted lady" of Alomo Square.
The two big changellenges to us were to find a parking space especially in the evening and the other things is to carry our heavy luggages to the 3rd floor.
Overall, it was still a good experience to us.

Reviews From Hosts

Owen and his new mate Martìn stayed for three nights at my OM retreat and were a real pleasure to host.
They are quiet and respectful, friendly, and really made the most of their time here in the tranquil country surroundings.
Owen is a real gentleman, neat and polite, my place was left spotless.
I wish them well, highly recommend, and hope they return.
Sincerely, Raboon

Owen is a wonderful guest who is very easy to communicate and host. He and his guest were very courteous, clean and prompt with everything!
I highly recommend him to any host here on airbnb!
Thanks Owen!

Owen was a kind and responsible guest during his recent stay at my apartment in Mexico City.
Very easy communicating and accommodating. They are welcome back any time and I would recommend them to anyone.
